There's different variations, but mine is chicken breasts, cabbage, corn, carrots, stewed toms, onions and near the end I put in big chunks of zucchini. Serve in a bowl with a spoon of rice on top and corn tortillas on the side.

Ps- I put a head of garlic in mine (which I remove when its done), shhhhh don't tell the Mexicans they come unglued over the garlic

It sounds delish! Never knew Mexicans had an issue with garlic. Hopefully they will forgive you for your faux pas.

I don't think they are against garlic per se, but the lady who used to clean my moms house years ago would start cursing in spanish when my mom put the garlic in, and my mom would start screaming back "I dont understand yooouuu!!" .

Lump off Boiling BeefSwede/parsnips,leeks/onions/ pearl barley /This is prepared in the morning and left on low heat all day. I Guess so all members off the house can be out working. So come supper time. A pan off boiling Potato , s is put on , the beef is is taken out placed on a draining trivet and the soup is served. This soup is the sort off food that you would dream off after any time spent freezing cold it coats the tube to the stomach with warmth . By the time you finish the soup ,the beef is carved , the potatoes buttered and as many pickles as your larder has are placed on the table.

It is the best.

I wore white bucks on Wall Street with seersucker and poplin suits. In the 80s' this was just a bit winky winky because you'd only see a dozen or so guys in white bucks a day. It was delicious in anyone under 30. We all thought it was awful queeny preppy or just douchey straight preppy on a 30+ year old man. In the city... Like bow ties. Under 30, over 50.

I much prefer a pair of saddle shoes, and yes I own some. Paired with Gauthier seersucker.

Hmm.. I had a pair of those in 6th grade. Liked them but went with the trend of platform shoes 2 or 3 years later. 5' 11" tall (without the shoes) and 118 lbs. Major laughs in hindsight. Most days now I just wear my comphy slippies.

Doesn't every town in the USA have a joint that serves real spare ribs?

I made some the other night. But then I pulled the meat off the bone, chopped it up, and drizzled it with vin cotto which is an ancient Roman version of balsamic -- very Capri!

I encourage everyone to stock this gem! The one I use has a hint of orange, but you can see it comes in the original plain and then other versions. It's a very versatile finisher for grilled and roasted meats and fish.

I finally got rid of my mouse. I'm sure he died of Obesity/Mouse Diabetes after eating all my bread and donuts.

I'm gonna miss him. He was a spunky thing, defeating every trap I put out. Even manged to drag himself out of a glue trap. Of course I never tried to poison him but he prolly would have defeated that as well.

In London I have lived with darting mouse for 22 years i have lived in the flat. The flat shares basements with a least 10 other properties. In Orkney while I am not here the traps go out ,one winter while I was away it took 2 friends 4 days to clean the place and I lost bedding and a one off woollen blanket made by a friend on her loom. Very expensive infestation.

Turnips +Neaps in Scotland urg. Do like curried cream off Parsnip Soup though.

So I finally made some cookies the other day. First time in years. Lemon-pistachio.

I had them stacked on a plate on the kitchen counter. Well, this morning I discovered that the cookies were tossed all over the counter and every single nut was gone!

Damned mouse!

That's kinda gross. Sure its a mouse? How many nuts could one itty bitty mouse eat? Mice on tables and countertops seems possibly dangerous, besides.

I lived on the third floor in an old house in a leafy college town one summer. there was a rickety fire escape. Left window open figuring why not. Squirrels came in. A squirrel in the apt is a nasty creature. Then a family of raccoons - mama and pups. How raccoons scaled the fire escape? A+ for effort.

Had a snake on my brick wall in my kitchen in Brooklyn one time. 4th floor.

YUM! Throw it in a microwave and slather some sweet/tangy sauce on it and I am totally down!

Don't you have a homey soul food place (or chinese joint in a black neighbourhood, often enough) with take out ribs, collard greens, mac n cheese, pie? In a styrofoam container. For about the same price as McD? Real food.... ?

Well actually the day before I noticed about half of the nuts were eaten. thought it might have been a Kenny Mouse. (don't worry, I didn't eat any. *whew!*) The following morning they were all gone. Disinfected the kitchen.

I know. Gross! The trap is set. Guess they got more adventurous this year. Usually they stay under the sink and chew on plastic bottles or similar goodies. I stuffed steel wool in the tiny opening around the sink drain pipe but they are tricky little devils. Mighty Mouth Mouse.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

Cinnabun is tacky but I took my French friend there in London and he loves his Paris pastries, and he LOVED Cinnabun and now goes to Trafulgar square to have them. I admit they are a bit trashy but when I used to work in the mall growing up, they were my downfall and about once a year, if in a cinnabun airport I'll have the carmel pican!
